Switch off the plug'n'play option on the network card, you need the disk
that came with the network card, restart into dos and run the pndisabl
program on the diskette.
That fixes it.

with this installation it's impossible to compile any program. it seems
that you don't even have the make/gcc tools installed. try installing
these first... i'm shure it's coming with rh5.1 you just have to install
it.

Apparently, X-Win32 is a commercial product. Cracking it would be
illegal. While I'm not particularly in the position to tell you
whether you should do illegal things or not, I can say with some
authority that this is the wrong newsgroup to ask for this sort of
information.
My advice: forget Windows, install Linux and get an X Server for
free!

Hi:
I have always wondered whether I could get a direct connection to the net
without an ISP.
Or perhaps I would like to know how to become an ISP for my own operations.
Can anyone give me some feedback on where to start?

"Sendmail 2nd Edition" by Bryan Costales is exactly what you are looking
for -- there isn't a better book on the subject anywhere. Beside Its
published by O'Reilly so you can't go wrong.

Actually there might be something in that... I HAVE had a simlar situation
in the past where using a crossed cable through a hub will enable a small
amount of traffic... but when you start pushing some data, its a fender
bender...:) the brain surgeons where I work will try anything to thwart
me.... but it is not something i have been able to duplicate since... the
only difference that i noticed was the quality of the cable...
You definitely cannot expect to use the same cable that you were using to go
from computer to computer on a hub and expect to get acceptable results
though... so please make sure you are using the right configuration...:)

Problem (most likely):
no SMTP server is listening on you SMTP port
Test:
# telnet localhost smtp
Solutions:
* Install one of: sendmail, smail, qmail OR make sure
that the one you already installed is really running
OR
* make fetchmail deliver directly to local mailboxes via
local delivery agent (procmail on redhat) without
local SMTP server
[fetchmail --MDA (?) command line option]

Subject: root on NFS
Date: 2 Jun 1999 15:35:05 GMT
Hi everybody,
I'm tring to get a Sparc SLC set up as an X-terminal. Therefore, it should
have no internal disk but should have its "disk" on an NFS server.
So far, I get the kernel starting-- but afterwards it dies immediately! :-(
One of the first errors I get is:
IP-Config: Incomplete network configuration information.
>From the kernel sources I see this is coming from
/net/ipv4/ipconfig.c :
/*
* If neither BOOTP nor RARP was selected, return with an error. This
* routine gets only called when some pieces of information are mis-
* sing, and without BOOTP and RARP we are not able to get that in-
* formation.
My question is: How can this happen? I don't know C well, so I can't dig
myselfd through the kernel sources...
So... Why was neither BOOTP nor RARP selected?? I'm sure that I've compiled
them in both! Wo "selects" RARP and/or BOOTP?
Thanx in advance
Andi
P.S.: Could you please send a copy of your answer also by mail? Tnx!

Subject: IP to IPX through a firewall?
Date: Wed, 02 Jun 1999 22:51:57 GMT
Does anyone know of any tools that will allow me to configure a RH6.0 box
with a ethernet/IP and a token-ring/IPX setup. This box is going to be a
firewall using ipchains
that protects our internal private ethernet from the corporate IPX network.
Can Linux do IP to IPX routing or translation? Can I use NAT to do this?
Can linux act as a IPX to IP gateway?
Any help would be appreciated.
Please respond via email.

I just happened to find this:
If the card is reporting IRQ0 or IRQ255, that indicates the card has not
been assigned an interrupt. There are two likely fixes: either
the BIOS does not have enough IRQ lines available for PCI devices (e.g.
all are assigned to "legacy" ISA devices instead of "PnP"),
or the BIOS has a "PnP OS" setting that must be disabled. Yes, this is
confusing: the "PnP OS" setting is bad (it really means
"Windows OS?"), but the PnP IRQ assignment is good.
on: http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/misc/irq-conflict.html
I also went thru some contortions getting my 3C509 to work with dual
tulip boards (Netgear FA310TX). After much fighting, I finally noticed
that loading the 3C509 LAST worked. In the middle did NOT. I didn't try
the 3C509 first. So in /etc/conf.modules:
alias eth0 tulip
alias eth1 tulip
alias eth2 3c509
works, whereas:
alias eth0 tulip
alias eth1 3c509
alias eth2 tulip
did NOT. You might try changing the load order, of course substituting
the actual module names you use where appropriate. Someone mentioned
that this is documented somewhere, but I've just perused the
cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux pages and can't find anything.
I'm assuming by now you've disabled PnP on the 3C509 using the 3Com
utility diskette and set it to known-good values, right? Do that first
if not!
Good luck!

Take a look at http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/mini/IP-Masquerade.html
IP masquerading is a simple form of NAT.
There are a couple different ways to implement a VPN
via pppd and ssh http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/mini/VPN.html
via vpnd http://www2.crosswinds.net/nuremberg/~anstein/unix/vpnd.html
via IPSEC http://www.xs4all.nl/~freeswan/
If you connect a private network (10.0.0.0, 192.168.x.y) to the internet,
the packets will probably just be dropped by the first router. I don't know
that is it illegal. It just won't work.
I don't see any reason you can't tunnel through the internet, where the
tunnelled net is a private network. That is it's purpose.
